Market Segment

The global humectants market has been segmented on the basis of type, source, and application.

Based on Type, the global humectants market has been divided into glycols, glycerol, sugar alcohols, polysaccharides and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and others. The sugar alcohols segment is expected to gain the largest revenue share and exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high efficiency of sugar alcohols such as glycerol, sorbitol, xylitol, and maltitol. Additionally, sugar alcohols or sugar polyols are used in diverse applications including animal feed, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food & beverages, and cosmetics.

The global Humectants Market has been segregated, by source, into natural and synthetic. The synthetic segment is expected to gain the larger market share owing to the widespread availability and low cost of synthetic humectants. Moreover, large volumes of synthetic humectants are being consumed in multiple applications such as food & beverages, animal feed, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. However, the natural segment is expected to register the higher growth rate during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for natural food products and food ingredients.

By application, the global humectants market has been classified as food & beverages, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and others. The food & beverages segment has further been segregated into bakery and confectionery, dairy and frozen desserts, beverages, and others. The food & beverages segment is expected to garner the largest market share and register the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the surging demand for humectants in the food & beverage industry. Humectants help in increasing the shelf life and efficacy of food & beverage products, along with retaining moisture. The bakery and confectionery sub-segment is expected to be the largest owing to the rising use of humectants to impart sweetness, increase product shelf life, and render a soft texture to confectioneries. In the personal care segment, the increasing demand for moisture-rich humectant products for maintaining natural hair health is driving market growth.
